Three kinetic models, for predicting the removal of nitrogen and organics in vertical flow wetlands, have been developed and evaluated. These models were established by combining first-order, Monod and multiple Monod kinetics with continuous stirred-tank reactor (CSTR) flow pattern. Critical evaluations of these models using three statistical parameters, coefficient of determination, relative root mean square error and model efficiency, indicated that when the Monod/multiple Monod kinetics was combined with CSTR flow pattern it allowed close match between theoretical prediction and experiment data of nitrogen and organics removal. The kinetic coefficients (derived from Monod/multiple Monod kinetics) was found to increase with pollutant loading, indicating that the coefficients may vary based on different factors, such as influent pollutant concentration, hydraulic loading, and water depth. Overall, this study demonstrated the validity of combining Monod and multiple Monod kinetics with CSTR flow pattern for the modelling and design of vertical flow wetland systems.

Acetogenic bacteria play an important role in various biotechnological processes, because of their chemolithoautotrophic metabolism converting carbon dioxide with molecular hydrogen (H) as electron donor into acetate. As the main factor limiting acetogenesis is often H, insights into the H consumption kinetics of acetogens are required to assess their potential in biotechnological processes. In this study, initial H consumption rates at a range of different initial H concentrations were measured for three different acetogens.

Mathematical models can provide insights into complex interactions and dynamics within microbial communities to complement and extend experimental laboratory approaches. For dental biofilms, they can give a basis for evaluating biofilm growth or the transition from health to disease. We have developed mathematical models to simulate the transition toward a cariogenic microbial biofilm, modeled as the overgrowth of within a five-species dental community.

Efficaciously assessing product quality remains time- and resource-intensive. Online Process Analytical Technologies (PATs), encompassing real-time monitoring tools and soft-sensor models, are indispensable for understanding process effects and real-time product quality. This research study evaluated three modeling approaches for predicting CHO cell growth and production, metabolites (extracellular, nucleotide sugar donors (NSD) and glycan profiles): Mechanistic based on first principle Michaelis-Menten kinetics (MMK), data-driven orthogonal partial least square (OPLS) and neural network machine learning (NN).
